Budapest

The beautiful Queen of the Danube

The hilly bank of Buda on the right, the flat Pest on the left bank of the Danube – with nine bridges connecting them. Even during the day, there is scarcely anybody who is not moved by the wonderful charm of this view.

And when evening draws on and the illuminated stately buildings and sights of the city stand out against the clear sky, then everybody is captivated by the unique magic of Budapest. Up close, you cannot fail to see the flaws and problems of this city. Yet here too, there is room for hope when the Budapestians show an incomparable vitality and dynamism in improving life in their city. And you can see and feel this progress in so many corners of the city.

At the legendary reopened Café New York, you can enjoy your coffee in an impressive and sumptuous ambience, and also the beautiful Restaurant Robinson directly by the lake in City Park serves true delicacies. Architectural jewels follow in fast succession, above all the colossal Buda Castle with the National Gallery. Budapest is a unique blend of architecture and nature. Every visitor will realise this at the latest when on Margaret Island.

And where in the world can you see people playing chess in the water of a thermal spa? This is probably the only place you can, the Széchenyi, the largest bath and spa in Budapest. This city enchants you. It doesn’t hide behind its history, but is slowly emerging from this shadow. It is gradually remembering its beauty and strengths, and so provides its visitors with an unforgettable and highly faceted stay.
